that reached Utica, n. Y, at / 10 O'Clock
Wednesday night, was found to be fast
ened and had to be forced open. On the
floor and tied to the safe, lay Express
Messenger Lake, bleeding profusely from
a wound in his shoulder. The safe had
been rified of some $500. Lakes wound
is believed to be mortal. He says that
while the train was making run between
Clark's Mills and Utica, which only occu
pies seven minutes, a man entered the
car and ordered him To throw up his
hands Lake did not realize for a mo-
ment what was up, and failed To comply
with the demand. The intruder thereup-
on leveled his revolver at the messenger
and shot him.

The past winter has been the severest
known for several years in Vermont
Since the middle of November sleighing
has been continuous throughout most of
the state, and over so snow storms have
occurred, and the spring comes on tar
Oily. The weather-wise have discovered
this predicament: The warm weather
will not appear so long as this immense
body of snow remains on the ground, and
this body of snow will not disappear until
warm weather comes.

belle who Is going to die in fifteen years Of
adisordered circulation, and then she eats
slate pencils and drinks vinegar and
sucks lemons to break down her diges-
ton and blight the roses in her cheeks.
This sounds like the stupidity of a
girl. But how about the mature girls
who do worse?
said to a woman of thirty, not long
ago: SLOW long have you rubbed lily
white into your poresy"
s'rve used it for years" she replied.
"Then," l said, "you have probably
absorbed white lead enough to give You
the painters collie, If not to bring on
paralysis of the facial muscles"
10, dear, no" said she. "This Is pure
hly-white; it's made of lilies"
That woman belonged to the slate-pen-
Gil and vinegar period.
Fowler's solution is confscated con-
tinually IN the female schools. A prin-
cipal Of a female academy not long ago
told me that the practice of using this
is propagated by a kind of sympathetic
imitation, not unlike those crimes that
sometimes have run.
i shouldn't be surprised If this were
true. When Clara Morris was at the
height of her metropolitan career the
rumor got about that she was hopelessly
addicted TO the morphine habit, and pro-
duced her emotional effects on the stage
by the use of the hypodermic syringe.
attribute the rage for hypodermic
syringes among actresses solely to that
fact.
When Nine. Leibhardt, the singer,
came to this country it was reported that
she slept with two fresh beefsteaks on
her face every night, and ! remember the
howl of derision and laughter among the
women in the dressing room at Steinway
Hall when 1t was mentioned to them.
But was c,nfidentially informed five
years afteiward by one of the women
that four out Of the five sentout for beef
steaks as soon as they got home that
night.
! suppose absinthe Is one of the jolliest
poisons that is current. III kept up 1t
simply eats the brain out or ends in q
sort of continuous epilepsy.
Nothing can be more cheerful than TO
see the young bucks at the ELotos Club
throw their spring coats over their
shoulders and say to the steward: Give
nue. some absinthe Iwant toning.n When
man gets rooted as 1t were on the
absinthe cocktail eat his breakfast
without it--you will find insomnia writ
ten on his bedroom walls. It's literary
poison. Reporters and playwrights at
feet it.
Here the sympathetic imitation comes
In again. They have heard that the
French feuilletonists drink II with their
coffee.
So the male poisoner isn't much better
than the female. If she thinks hypo-
dernic syringe viii give her emotional
power, he thinks that absinthe will
make his sentences glitter

Do people in great city take to
poisons with more alaerity than the Deo-
pie in the country?
Alasl the poisons take to them with
more alacrity. "A thousand miles Of lead
pipe give our water toxic tinge. A
hundred miles Of sewage only few feet
under our bodies sends its mephitic virus
creeping up into our rooms. The air we
breathe is loaded with the minute excreta
of the streets. And then the intensity of
our life drives US to narcotics, just as the
intense rivalry drives US to cosmetics.
One cannot attend an intensely fashion
able gathering In the season without con-
fronting the slaves of poison--white-
faced women who have all they can do
to keep the shadows from under their
eyes. The career of a woman gone ut
terly to a fast life is scarcely ever over
zen years. Unless snatched by some
power out Of the whirlpool and seques-
trated in the cool and healthy duties of
at twenty-five Then she takes TO mar
cotics. If her nerves give out first she
takes to stimulants. Shall | tell you
what the stimulant usually is? Juniper.
When woman under the stress of
life early reaches that point in her ca
reer where to be beautiful she must take
poison, and to be active must take al
cohol, you can write her obituary and
put in the date without much risk.
A fine old fashionable she veteran
supposing such thing possible-who
among other nostrums had preserved the
elixir Of life and lived through all the
poisonous waves of the past fifty years,
could give us some interesting reminis-
cences of drug cyclones. What a jolly
story would be hers of hydrate of chic
raj epochs and potassium erasi aWhat
palmy days those were, girls" she would
say, @when we all tippled Hostetter, and
1drenched ourselves with opodeidocl
Then do you remember how we all
soaked our heads in chlorine till our
hair turned white, and then we soaked
them in nitrate of silver till it turned
black? Why don't we have such good
times now? How we used to inhale nj
trous oxide gas and ether, and have our
good old-fashioned Dover's powders
every night And then one joyous season
we all rushed off to the abattoir and drank
blood. Can we ever forget the days
when we were enameled-can we, girls?
